[quote=Anonymous]I have seen this done multiple times at workshops I have attended. People take steps forward in reaction to statements that should range across all types of privilege... race, gender identity, class, able-ness, sexuality, etc. When done correctly, it should be somewhat eye opening and help people be more aware of the privilege they DO have that others may not. For instance, one question was “did you grow up assuming you would go to college?” Makes a huge difference to how you approach school and life. It doesn’t devalue the accomplishments you achieve, it just makes you realize others might have to work harder to get where you are. So people should walk away with questions. Granted, there should have been some additional framing and consideration around how to make it comfortable and constructive for teenagers. But in my experience, the people who feel the most uncomfortable are those with the most privilege, not the least. [/quote]
